Gamers eagerly awaiting the next installment in the popular Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise can finally mark their calendars. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, recently confirmed a Fall 2025 release window for the highly-anticipated GTA 6.
This news comes alongside Take-Two Interactive’s financial report for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, which revealed a company loss of $2.9 billion. While the financial details are significant for the company, it’s the GTA 6 release window that has captured the attention of gamers worldwide.
Rockstar Games, known for its meticulous development process, has remained tight-lipped on the exact release date within the Fall 2025 timeframe. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick indicated that specific details will come directly from Rockstar Games, aligning with their usual marketing strategy.
This confirmation builds upon an earlier announcement from Rockstar Games simply stating a 2025 release for the next GTA title. While details were scarce then, a captivating trailer released in December 2023 offered a glimpse into what players can expect.
Set in a fictionalized version of Miami, likely Vice City, the trailer hints at a first for the franchise: a playable female character. The trailer, soundtracked by Tom Petty’s “Love Is A Long Road,” opens with Lucia, the presumed protagonist, emerging from prison. The narrative appears to center around a criminal duo, Lucia and her partner, facing the challenges of the criminal underworld. The trailer concludes with the pair embarking on a daring heist, leaving fans eager to learn more about the story and gameplay.
With a confirmed release window and an intriguing trailer, the hype for GTA 6 continues to build. Fall 2025 can’t come soon enough for gamers eager to explore the new world and criminal opportunities Rockstar Games has crafted.
